Answer:
d = 1.954 Km
Explanation:
given,
total distance, D = 2.5 Km
in stretch A to B =
speed = 99 Km/h = 99 x 0.278 = 27.22 m/s time =t
in stretch B to C
time = 3.4 s
In stretch C to D
speed = 48 Km/h = 48 x 0.278 = 13.34 m/s time =t
we know,
distance = speed x time
distance of BC
using equation of motion
v = u + a t
27.22 = 13.34 - a x 3.4
a = 4.08 m/s²
uniform deceleration is equal to 4.08 m/s²
distance traveled in BC
s = 68.94 m
3000 = 27.5 t + 68.94 + 13.33 t
40.83 t = 2931.06
t = 71.79 s
distance travel in AB
distance = s x t
d = 27.22 x 71.79
d = 1954 m
d = 1.954 Km
distance between A and B is equal to 1.954 Km.
